UN Special Rapporteur on violence against women and girls, Reem Alsalem, says countries who advocate women’s rights must ‘walk the talk’, applying their principles consistently and without selective advocacy by avoiding arms transfers that facilitate the killing of Palestinian women by Israel.

Pregnant women, mothers and young girls are particularly vulnerable, she explains, as they face a sharp increase in miscarriages, malnutrition, and severe dehydration due to the dire circumstances.

“Mothers and would-be mothers have been targeted by the genocidal machine,” explains Alsalem. “They cannot even feed their newborn kids, not to mention the terror and desperation they feel because of the constant need to flee seeking safety in a place where there is no safety, the bombardments, the constant attack, the arbitrary executions, destruction of their families, family homes and with it the photos and items commemorating their family lives.”

    Your imagination must have taken a wild turn.

    Let me help you clarify how the hard to accept reality works.

    Insults. As I predicted.

    You could have at least acknowledged that I unbanned you.

      If you provide me with the comment where I defended the Houthi’s using child soldiers I’ll acknowledge you unbanning me.

        If you’re going to pretend you weren’t unbanned, I can go ahead and ban you again… No point unbanning someone who won’t acknowledge that they are no longer banned.

        Up to you.

        Edit: I’ll give you an hour. If you don’t want to admit you’re unbanned by then, I guess you didn’t want to be in the first place.

          So just to be clear you admit that there was no evidence for banning me and you lied about the reason?

            The hour is running out. All you have to do is acknowledge you are no longer banned.

              I can only acknowledge being unbanned if I can acknowledge being justly banned in the first place.

              Surely you can prove your claims.

                40 minutes until you’re re-banned unless you admit you were unbanned. This is not negotiable.

                  I see no reason to appease someone who tacks on conditions to his previous comment.

                    Well… you made your choice. You could have literally said something like, “It’s about time you fucking unbanned me you complete and utter asshole,” but you clearly would prefer to complain about being banned than being unbanned. No point unbanning someone who doesn’t want to be unbanned.
